RCM Silver Maples

Introduced in 1988, Silver Maples are produced by the Royal Canadian Mint and are by far the most popular silver coin product. Silver Maples come in 1oz increments and in tubes of 25oz. The silver monster box includes 500oz of silver maples. There are 20 tubes each holding 25oz in the yellow box. The box comes sealed from the mint and can be stored at home, in the depository, or even held in an RRSP account.

Rounds, Coins, and Junk

There are several types of coins to choose from which are typically categorized as rounds, coins, or junk. Rounds are minted coins that are produced by private refiners as opposed to government mints. Popular round products include the Buffalo Silver Round, Liberty Coin, RMC Silver Round, and Sunshine Mint Coin. Coins on the other hand are produced by government mints like the Maple Coin, Austrian Philharmonic, American Silver Eagle, and the Chinese Silver Panda. Junk silver are typically US coins that were in circulation prior to 1965. These coins are not 99.9% pure and have no numismatic value. However investors seek out the 715oz bags as a way to prepare for a worst case scenario event. In this case the coins could be used as tender.

Which Silver Coins Are Best?

There are many factors to consider in selecting the right silver coin for your investment needs. Here are a few thoughts to keep in mind.

• How much are you purchasing? If possible, consider buying coins in bulk as premiums can be reduced this way.
• How readily available are the coins for purchase? Coins are produced in limited amounts and there can be longer wait times to procure your product. Especially if you are buying large quantities.
